No, I don't know it. It is overwhelmingly more common for people to get whipped up, chant threats, and then shrink or shut up when their bluff is called, than for them to carry out their chants. Especially when we're talking about politics and politicians. Hyperbole and violent rhetoric are...
See now? That's agreeing with something I didn't say. That is "having a conversation with yourself." I don't want to interfere with your conversation. Bowing out.
No, I don't. But when I perceive that the conversation will not result in mutual understanding, I judge that the best course of action is to disengage. Does that seem reasonable to you?
Controls imposed on working, assembly (business, churches, schools, homes (in my state the governor told the population to call the police on their neighbors if they had family or friends over for Thanksgiving dinner), and bodily integrity (vaccine-gated rights)…no equal protection under the...
No less tasteful and offensive than the anti-Trump guillotine. I'm guessing you were going to post a link to that one in your next thread?
No worries, I'll do it for you (take out the spaces before and after the domain for the link to work; RF's parser kept messing it up):

Seems like you misunderstand me. Thanks, though.
Like I said, I don't think we understand one another enough to have a profitable discussion on it at this point.
It is self-evident that, by default, what a person types on the internet is secured by the 1st Amendment against government censorship.
If that's what you believe, then my statement won't make sense to you. So let's not attempt to discuss it.
Law is strict. That's the point of law. What good is a law securing one's right to life if that law can be ignored simply when someone says it can be ignored? So, yes, if the law says X, I read it strictly and expect X. Heaven knows government reads the law that way when it's after what it's...
Are you asking about permanent loss of rights or temporary?
What good is a right to life if you have no right to secure your own subsistence without the involvement of others? It's not "left field;" it's as pertinent a question as "Do human beings have a right to life?" (asking both questions...
No one has to interpret what the 1st Amendment says; it's clear. The words can only mean one thing—just what they say: "Congress shall make no law…abridging…the right of the people peaceably to assemble." IE, if a bunch of people get together peaceably for a concert, Congress shall make no...
As any good US citizen would do, I took issue (and take issue) with any law, policy or executive order that usurps authority not granted to government, tramples rights without due process, creates a de facto monarch/dictator, etc.
So you'd act like a dictator. Thanks for detailing what you'd...
Hypotheticals have their place, but we've exhausted their usefulness in this conversation. Which is why I asked you to share your view on your own contracting of the virus. Or do your views not apply to that real-world scenario like they do to the curated hypotheticals?
Again, make it real. Was the source of your infection a person who supported "good measures," or one of the persons who advocated for SARS-COV-2 being allowed to spread willy nilly?
